Problems with constant pop ups

Hi Guys
Been a while since I posted on here but need a bit of help, my son is having problems with pop ups on his pc all the time, I have taken him through the basics of cleaning up, he has done spybot and adaware, disk clean up and manually deleted cookies and temp files ect, the next step was HJT I have had a look through it but cant see anything that stands out to me, one or two some might question like imvu which i believe is a site my son goes on, could someone possible have a look for me and see if i am missing anything drastic, and maybe advise on next step

Thanks
Stitch

Hello stitch and welcome.

Ok, it looks like the main problem is the 016 ActiveX from Zango.

I'm also somewhat suspect of this file:
C:\WINDOWS\vsnpstd.exe<<<--this one

I have found a couple of links to suggest it is part of some camera software, but also another saying it could be a trojan, nothing to say 100% either way tho, so lets get an online scan before we remove it, unless you can verify what it is.

And of course using Limewire P2P file sharing is a land mine, you never know what you're going to get, we recommend you not use these types of applications.

Below you will find my results and recommendations. Please read ALL instructions carefully BEFORE proceeding.

Please follow these instructions, exactly, for proper HJT installation. Please place HJT into ITS OWN PERMANANT FOLDER. It also needs to be removed from the desktop.

You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT. (C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe)Move HijackThis.exe into this folder. When you run HijackThis.exe from C:\HJT folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary which is easily accessible.


Please go to http://virusscan.jotti.org , click on Browse, and upload the following file for analysis:
C:\WINDOWS\vsnpstd.exe <<<--this file

Then click Submit. Allow the file to be scanned, and then please copy and paste the results here for me to see.

Be patient as this site is usually very busy.

Run Hijackthis and look over the following entries I have listed, check the boxes next to them and press the "Fix Checked" button with HijackThis. When you are doing this, make sure you have No IE windows, or other browsers open, including this one. Reboot if I have specified below, and post a fresh HijackThis log.
